Obviously we’re on Ukraine’s side.
Wouldn’t it be better to get a cease-fire to let them rebuild and rearm? - Dope

I think the lefties position is built on the correct assumption that Ukraine will be able to rebuild and re-arm much faster the Ivan. So as the theory goes, with every passing year at war, the "Faster Rebuild" advantage accrues in Ukraine's favor.

What is not taken into account and undermines that strategy is the loss of thousands of lives on both sides for each month the war drags on. With 4X the population plus boots on the ground from N Korea and from Baltic clients, Russia is better positioned to ride out the dude shortage than is Ukraine.
